Leyvaten LaDD Loop

You can Special Summon this card from your hand or your Graveyard by removing from play 1 face-up monster you control equipped with a "Dragunity" card(s). When this card is Normal or Special Summoned, you can select 1 Dragon-Type monster in your Graveyard, except "Dragunity Arma Leyvaten", and equip it to this card. When this card is sent to the Graveyard by your opponent's card effect, you can select 1 of the monsters that were equipped to this card when it was sent to the Graveyard, and Special Summon that monster from the Graveyard.

The LeyvaLaDD Loop, it always fascinated me. For those who don't know, the Leyva-LaDD Loop is a loop that uses Leyvaten to equip LaDD with its effect, and then, when Leyva or LaDD is destroyed, you use LaDD's effect to SS Leyva and equip it with LaDD once again, forming a loop.
I always liked this one, since it was, theorically, a 2600 ATK Wind-Up Rabbit (always stays on field, this more often than rabbit), only it has few holes:
1."When...You can" effect on this card's equpping effect;
2.Banishing or bouncing cards, that would break the loop;
3.Destroying your whole field.

Quite some holes, aren't they?
However, reading some cards recently and thinking (at school, we were doing math, I just didn't want to do anything and wrote some random things on my diary while thinking on this), I noticed how lots of these holes can be fixed:
1.Can't, but there aren't lots of cards that will make it lose the timing.
2.That was quite the problem back in time, but since no one plays D.D.Crows anymore, it's good, and veilers just stop the loop without breaking your set-up.
3.As we learnt with Yubel, it's not that big of a problem if we do play cards that can be chained and can survive to a mass nuke. Feel free to try Tour Engine+Rabbit.

The loop is kinda flexible, you have multiple ways to trigger it and to set-up it, and if you lack something, you can still play and stall, like leyva, equip redmd, once leyva is destroyed, SS redmd, if he survives, SS Leyva back during your turn and equip something else.

What's more this deck can count on some draw cards, such as:
1.Advance Draw, if you use it on Leyva with LaDD equipped it's basically a PoG;
2.Trade-In, helps set-upping, lets you draw other pieces for the combo other than the one you just discarded;
3.Cards of Consonance, we play aklys, and sometimes even phalanx, being both searchable via ravine, that's not bad.

To set-up the grave we've got, other than trade-in, even ravine, that's searchable via terraforming.

To revive Leyva to start the loop we've got REDMD, virtually 3 call of the haunted, monster reborn and LaDD itself, other than normal summoning, but that's quite hard to achieve.

To summon ladd and control a bit we can even use Photon Sanctuary, if you like, but we play few LIGHT monsters, I believe they aren't enough.

Mystellatein isn't a bad choice, too, but it's for more pure builds, with phalanx it's either double tribute fodder or LV8 Synchro.


Sadly recently I've got some problems on DN, I can't stay logged for more than 20 minutes, usually, after that it automatically closes, still trying to understand it. For this reason, I've got no time to test and fix, so it's subsequently hard to update the blog, but I believe I can do something.

Stay Tuned.
